Changeableness will be the rule next
winter, except where, for the sake of
change, one may depart from monoto-
nous changeableness to something
which does not change. New silks
and velvets show varied colors as
lights and shadows glance; wool nov
elites initiate less successfully; some
times one color looking up through
another in doubtful taste, or in lieu of
this, producing sought Tor confusion
by small crooked lines of different col
ors which intersect with all aban-
don possible. New plaids at times
display indistinctuess, but often are
characterized rs of old. and this winter
there will be seen repettions of the

Natural and Manufactured Ice.

1t occurred to me a short time ago that
manufactured ice was not as good as
the natural ice, and 1 proceeded to in
vestigate the subject. l found that OH
holding a piece of natural ice in one hand
and a piece of manufactured in the other,
that the difference in temperature could
be readily demonstrated. l could hold
the manufactured ice in my hand until it
melted, but the natural article grew so
cold that l had TO drop it. 1t would
seem at first thought hat ice ought to be
ice, but after a great amount of mental
labor l was enabled to solve to my own
satisfaction the problem of one kind of
ice being colder than another. Water
freezes at 80 dogs. Fahrenheit, but after
it forms into ice the temperature can be
reduced until the lowest possible point is
reached. AS the ice becomes colder L
suppose it gets harder and becomes more
compact. l ave never been able to test
it accurately, but l believe that a cubic
foot of natural ice will weigh more than
a cubic foo of the manufactured Ice

Why are the seats in all public places
and vehicles graded to the measure Of
the average man, so that three-fourths Of
the women must sit on the edge, or with
their feet dangling, or barely reaching
the floor with their toes? 1t seems to be

The $4,000 belt, which was pre-
sented to John l. Sullivan in Boston
amid the plaudits of an enthusiastic mul
titude, is by far the most gorgeous thing
of the kind ever seen. 1t is constructed
with massive panels, in two of which, on
either side OF the inscription plate-itself
the largest piece of manufactured gold
ever attempted in this country-are framed
the photographs of Mr.. Sullivan and
and Mr.. Sheedy, his manager. The other
panels bear the coats of arms
OF Ireland aud the United States, done
in blue and green enamel, with counter
felt presentments of the hero in fighting
attitudes. The pins upon which the huge
plates are hinged are made to represent
the eight stakes Of the prize ring. The
whole is of solid l4.carat gold and
weighs 1000 pennyweights, or over six
teen pounds. Il is thickly studded with
diamonds, one j,carat stone of the purest
water adjoining the central shield beneath

The story of the poisoning of Dawho
lake, in Georgetown county, by a hail
storm, as ~telegraphed, and which many
persons supposed to be ''fishy, :" has been
corroborated in every particular by n
prominor! citizen of Georgetown, who
has investigated the matter at the request
of Gen. Greedy, chief of the weather
service.
A dense mass of blackgum trees sur
rounds he lake on all sides. 1t is III
known that the leaves of this tree are
strongly impregnated with fannie acid.
1t has also been ascertained that the bot
tom of the lake contains a slight deposit
of iron. The poisoning of the water,
therefore, is thus explained. The hail
storm bruised and filled the lake with the
leaves and small branches Of the trees.
The fannie acid emanating from which,
mingled with the iron and formed tan
nate Of iron, causing the water to turn
black as ink and bitter as q~uinine, and
poisoning the fishes by thousands.
Some of the people living in the neigh
borhood believe that the condition of the
lake is due to a judgment from God.
This lake is in reality a Godsend for many
a poor family near by. They get fish
from it the year round, and if it is not
replenished soon it will be a Judgment to
them sure enough.
One species of the fish inhabiting this
lake survived the singular disaster, and
that was the mud fish, which buried it
self in the mud at the bottom and thus
escaped the effects of the poison. Tho
stencil arising from the dead and rotten
fish is described as fearful. The thou
sands of buzzards taking their departure
in the evening for their roosting places,
after a days feast, are described as max
ing a noise similar to that of an approach.
ing cyclone. On each end of Dawho
lake, about half a mile distant, is a small
lake, in which numbers of fish also
abound, but which, upon examination,
show no signs of the hailstorm which
swept over Dawho. This confirms the
belief that the direct u of the disaster
to the fish is due to the hailstorm.-

THE CAPITOL COMMISSION.

As an indication Of the depth Of popu-
lar feeling on the subject of the snail-like
progress being made ON the capitol build
ing We submit the following @communica-
ton from a prominent citizen Of this city.
To the Editor OF The Leader.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. I5-Siuce
the press has taken hold of the capitol
matter, and Justly finds fault with the
inexcusahlc delay in the work, why not go
a step farther and inquire into the work
ings of the commission itself? No I'M
provement in things is apparent, even
after public impotence is manifested.
This suggests the wrong. Is there no
legal way Of supplanting the commission
with a set of men who will push the
building to completion in time?
1t needs no argument 10 demonstrate
that the interests of Cheyenne must nat
urally suffer unless the capitol building is
completed and ready Tor occupancy by
January 1. This is q subject which
directly concerns every citizen of Chcy-
enne whether a large property owner or
a small one.
The inquiries of our correspondent,
under the circumstances, are only nat.
ural. The people have a right to de-
mand that this work be finished at the
time specified. Ii it is not finished they
have an equal right to hold the members
of the commission responsible for the
failure.
Are the members of the commission
doing their whole duty in the premises ?
If they fail IN accomplishing expected
result they are certainly not doing their
whole duty.
And it begins to look very much as
though they would fail.

Medicines.

What are they? As a general thing
they are prescriptions having been used
with great success by old and wei. read
physicians. Thousands of invalids have
been Unexpectedly cured by their use,
and they are the wonder and dread of
physicians and medical colleges in the
United States, so much so. that physi-
Clans graduating at medical colleges are
required to discountenance proprietary
medicines, as through them the country
doctor loses his most profitable practice.

afflicted are liable to, almost daily by the
use OF patent medicines put u by
inexperienced persons for aggran-
dizement only, and the employ
ing of inexperienced and incompe-
tent doctors by which almost every
village and town is cursed; and men
claiming to be doctors who had better be
u~ndertakenrs? experimenting with their
patients and robbing them of their
money and health-for the good of the
afflicted that our government protects its
people by making laws to regulate the
practice of medicine by better expert
enced aud more thoroughly educated
physicians, and thereby keep up the
honor and credit of the profession, also
form laws for the recording of recipes of
proprietary medicines, under examina-
ton and decision of experienced chemists
and physicians appointed for that pur-
pose by the government, before they are
licensed for general use. He would most
freely place the recipe of Boschee's Ger

lection, and thereby save the prejudice of
the people, and avoid the competition
